The Window Up Above

- Wanda Jackson -

I've been living a new way
of life that I love so
But I can see the clouds're gathering
and the storm will wreck our home
But last night you held her tightly
and you didn't even shove
This is true for I was watching
from the window up above

You must have thought I was sleeping
and I wish that I had been
But it's best to get to know you
and the way your heart can sin
I thought we belonged together
and our hearts fit like a glove
But I was wrong for I was watching
from the window up above

From my eyes the teardrops started
as I listened on and on
Heard you whisper to her softly
that our marriage was all wrong
But I hope she makes you happy
and you'll never lose her love
I lost mine while I was watching
from the window up above

Yes I hope she makes you happy
and you'll never lose her love
I lost mine while I was watching
from the window up above

Album [Right Or Wrong](1961)

Wanda Lavonne Jackson (born October 20, 1937) is

an American singer and guitarist who had success in

the mid-1950s and 60s as one of the first popular female

rockabilly singers and a pioneering rock and roll artist.
She is known to many as the Queen (or First Lady)

of Rockabilly.

Jackson mixed country music with fast-moving rockabilly,

often recording them on opposite sides of a record.
As rockabilly declined in popularity in the mid-1960s,

she moved to a successful career in mainstream

country music with a string of hits between 1966 and 1973,
including "Tears Will Be the Chaser for Your Wine",

"A Woman Lives for Love" and "Fancy Satin Pillows".

She has enjoyed a resurgence of popularity among

rockabilly revivalists in Europe and younger Americana fans,

and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
as an Early Influence in 2009.
